HH3 wrote:Deadly Hero: The High Society Murder that Created Hysteria in the Heartland by Jason Lucky Morrow
Historical murder case from the 1930's. The murder itself sparked fear in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but the details of the case led to mass hysteria about teenagers killing people for fun on mass.
Very interesting how police work was done with very basic resources. Even though its a true story, it seems like fiction because of the foreignness of the time period to me.
I read the sample from the Kindle store last night, and made the purchase today for $4.09. Amazon is saving me a lot of money and bookshelf space.

If you're into the true crime genre then John Safran's "Murder in Mississippi" is worth a read. Just finished it on an overseas trip.
He investigates the violent murder of a noted white supremacist by a local black lad who is currently serving time through a number of interviews and some documentary research. The deeper he digs, the more questions and secrets he uncovers about the victim, the killer, and how 'justice' is dished up in the south. Safran's conversational writing style also helps the story come to life.

While occasionally an insufferable ego, the man really does know how to write a novel and draw people into a story.

Agreed, not always a huge fan of the person but an excellent writer. I'm a couple of hundred pages into Gallipoli and it's bloody good.

1984s one of my all time favourite books. I leant it to my sister-in-law, and shes taken it to Newcastle, so its much easier just to download it so I can read it again.
Also never got around to reading Animal Farm.
Farrenheit 451 is also on the store, but at $9.95 I might wait to see if the price drops. Thats a big investment.
